Painting with Data: Choropleth SVG

With the release of the Splunk Enterprise Dashboards Beta version 0.5.2 comes an exciting new feature that I’m sure many people will find useful: Choropleth SVG Objects. What are Choropleth SVG Objects? Put simply, it’s painting with data. To help you navigate getting started with the current iteration of this feature, I’m writing a blog to show you just how easy it is to use and create absolutely custom SVG objects.

GrafanaCONline Days 3 & 4 recap: All about Grafana v7.0, the future of Prometheus, and the observability tools every company needs

GrafanaCONline is live! We hope you’re able to catch the great online sessions we have planned over the next couple of weeks. If you haven’t had a chance to tune in lately, here’s what you missed on days 3 and 4 of the conference.

GrafanaCONline: Nissan Leaf -> cloud all the things

Come join me on an adventure to analyze and improve my driving behavior and driving routes to get the most range out of my all-electric Nissan Leaf. You will get to see how you can use Grafana, Cortex, Loki, and other amazing open source technologies on a $35 Raspberry Pi to process and store over 1000 messages/second from the vehicle CAN bus along with GPS data and even camera images!

GrafanaCONline: Slicing Kubernetes: Raspberry Pis, monitoring and chaos

Do you ever feel like your systems lack unnecessary complexity and overengineering? This is the talk for you. Join me as I detail the creation of a Raspberry Pi-based desktop Kubernetes cluster in an attempt to overcomplicate the already complex world of stateless web application deployment. We’ll walk through building an observability platform using open source tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger to keep a close watch on our tiny fragile microservices and then break them intentionally for our own amusement.

GrafanaCONline: Industrial process monitoring: oil and gas industry

We have been utilizing Grafana at Whiting Oil and Gas for approximately three years. In that time, we have greatly impacted the way our field assets are managed through dashboards and alerting. Instead of servers and network data, Whiting is using the application to monitor oil and gas wells in remote locations. Historically, the energy industry has deployed very expensive tools to monitor assets and visualize data.

OpsLogix Ping Community Dashboard for SquaredUp

We are happy to announce that our widely popular free Ping Management Pack just got a community dashboard for SquaredUp. The dashboard is now available for download at SquaredUp Community site. The Ping Management Pack Dashboard includes one dashboard and one perspective. We would love to hear your feedback and listen to improvements to get this even better in the future.

Grafana v7.0 released: New plugin architecture, visualizations, transformations, native trace support, and more

We are thrilled to announce that Grafana 7.0 has been released for general availability. Join us as Torkel Ödegaard, the creator of Grafana, hosts a full demo of 7.0 during GrafanaCONline today. With Grafana v7.0, our goal was to extend on the Grafana platform by making it easier and more consistent for existing users, and intuitive and simple for those not familiar with Grafana.
